description

Browse changes
in a git repository. Additionally, tig(1) can also act as a
pager for output of various git commands.

When browsing
repositories, tig(1) uses the underlying git commands to
present the user with various views, such as summarized
commit log and showing the commit with the log message,
diffstat, and the diff.

Using tig(1) as
a pager, it will display input from stdin and try to
colorize it.

options

Command line
options recognized by tig include all valid git-log(1)
and git-diff(1) options, as well as the following
subcommands and tig specific options. The first command line
parameter not starting with "-" is
interpreted as being either a revision specification or a
path and will end the option parsing. All following options
will be passed untouched to the underlying git command.

show

Open diff view using the given
git-show(1) options.

blame

Show given file annotated by
commits. Takes zero or more git-blame(1) options.
Optionally limited from given revision.

status

Start up in status view.

+<number>

Show the first view with line
<number> visible and selected.

-v,
--version

-h,
--help

environment variables

In addition to environment variables used by git (e.g. GIT_DIR),
tig defines the ones below. The command related environment
variables have access to the internal state of tig via
replacement variables, such as %(commit) and %(blob). See
tigrc(5) for a full list.

TIGRC_USER

Path of the user configuration file (defaults to ~/.tigrc).

TIGRC_SYSTEM

Path of the system wide configuration file (defaults to
{sysconfdir}/tigrc).

TIG_LS_REMOTE

Set command for retrieving all repository references. The command
should output data in the same format as git-ls-remote(1).

TIG_DIFF_OPTS

The diff options to use in the diff view. The diff view uses
git-show(1) for formatting and always passes --patch-with-stat,
--find-copies-harder, and -C.

TIG_TRACE

Path for trace file where information about git commands are
logged.

files

~/.tigrc

User configuration file. See tigrc(5) for examples.
